The Story So Far

Crem dela began with one simple question: 

How can you make ready-to-drink coffee that’s bursting with flavour and enhances your well-being?

98 million drinks of coffee are consumed in the UK every day, but so much of it is made badly. The result? It makes you feel bad, too. 

Coffee shouldn’t be like this, and that’s where Crem dela steps in. 

Passion To Purpose

Backpacking through the mountains of Colombia in 2017, our founder Max decided to take a deep dive into the world of speciality coffee. Touring farms and helping local farmers to hand-pick ripe red coffee cherries, he learnt about the care and effort that goes into producing these unbelievable beans. 

To his surprise, he discovered that coffee can have incredible benefits for both body and mind.

In simple terms:

Hello health: Coffee beans are packed with antioxidants and can reduce the risk of chronic diseases.

Goodbye bad moods: Caffeine increases the activity of feel-good chemicals in the brain.

Armed with his background in science, experience in food and drinks manufacturing, and trust in the power of natural ingredients, Max has set out on a mission to change the way we drink coffee. 

For him, it’s personal. Before learning about coffee, the daily grind had ground him down. He often relied on cans of ready-to-drink coffee that were packed full of additives, unnatural preservatives, and refined sugar. These drinks are made to last for years on the shelf, not only compromising the flavour of the beans, but also the well-being of the people who drink them. 

Taking The Leap

Max hit on the untapped potential of speciality cold brew coffee. 

Years of research, product trials, and an unshakeable passion led to the launch of Crem dela in April 2023. We have a clear mission: to unlock the full potential of speciality coffee with a focus on the well-being of the people who make, and drink it.

The method? Coarsely ground coffee is brewed in re-mineralised cold water for more than 18 hours.

The outcome? Cold brew coffee is naturally smooth and sweeter. But it doesn’t just taste better—it feels better, delivering smooth long-lasting energy and focus without the crash or anxiety-inducing side effects. 

But… What about convenience? Crem dela is available in fully recyclable, ready-to-drink cans. 

So, why settle for anything less?
